Will E46 M3 Wheels fit on my E36 328is?

[bimmer328is]

I've been looking into buying some E46 M3 wheels and I'm not really sure if these will work all the way on my 328. The wheels I'm looking to buy are Original Lightweight BMW M3 Alloy Rims and Tires. The tire measurements are: 225/45ZR18 and 255/40ZR18. The thing that I'm really worried about are the offset diffrences between my stock wheels and these M3 wheels, if anyone can help i would really appreciate it! Thanks, Brenton!

I would go to www.tirerack.com and call them to male sure they will fit. I think that the E36 has a 38mm offset all the way around, and the E46 M3 has 19mm in the front and 39mm in the back, so there would be some fitment problems. Try not to use spacers if possible, never a good idea. Always better to find a wheel that fits perfectly. Especiall if you drive agressively.

E46 M3 offsets will not work with any E36.

fronts will work, rears WILL NOT. you need a set of 4 OEM e46 m3 wheels to make it work on your e36. You will get crazy rubbing in the rear if you stick with the e46 m3 rears.
